Melbourne VMUG User Conference: An Interview with Simon Sharwood

Simon Sharwood (@ssharwood) is APAC editor for The Register and a regular at the Melbourne VMUG User Conference.

We spoke about “What Hath VMware Wrought” and what automation and cloud means for IT pros and their future career prospects. He shared his thoughts on what it all means, and we looked at possible parallels with his own industry of journalism.

Simon is a real friend of the sysadmin, and it’s interesting to get an external perspective on what can be a fairly insular industry at times.
